Could someone please tell me what are the size and type of collets that I can use for this lathe. After reading many posts I am nothing if not confused. Size and types and the advantages and or disadvantages of each it is a bit bewildering. I am looking to do this simple and affordable. I want to purchase (probably used) a set of collets that I can use on the South Bend model 9a. Lets call it average accuracy but well constructed.
I do not like buying something more than once if I can help it. Also,I think a simple hand wheel closer would be fine. I believe that one of these is not beyond my ability to fabricate but I would not mind finding one reasonably priced as well. What is an average rate to pay for a single collet..set of collets? I know these are newbie questions but hey I am a newbie
I guess what I am asking is for some experienced person that actually uses them, to boil it down to some firm recommendations and advice about collets for this machine. Thank you very much for your time.
